be tue, that the gentleman had
injured him, his method of getting
even demonstrates malice and cow
ardice. If what Mrs. Strange said
be true, that she wanted the gen.
tleman to come to her house, her
method of accomplishing that pur-
pose was wrong. The Bee pre-
sumed in publishing their state
ment, that it was defending the
honesty and virtuous intentions of
an injured lady by not allowing a
man TO accomplish nefarious pur-
pose. q
The Bee, therefore declares that the
gentleman is innocent of what has
been charged against him, and that
the whole thing was an imaginary
emanation of Mrs. Stranges, and
the publicity and circulation are
credited to Mr.. Outlaw.

A ADEPARTMENT CLERK.

On Saturday July 80, an article
was published i'll this paper on the
information furnished by Mr.. VIM.
I'll. Outlaw, against a gentleman
with whom he has been intimate
for sew yeral years, and known to be
life friends. The Bee has always
been defender of those who are
oppressed, and fearless in its de-
nunciatiOn of those who attempt
to wrong anyone; and whenever it
is ascertained that we have mis-.
represented or injured anyone, we
have always made correction and
put the responsibility where it be-
longs. What Mr.. Outlaws and
Mrs. Strange's motives were in
circulating such a malicious charge
We are unable to say, but sha Ii
leave it to the people to Judge from
the letter of Mr.. Outlaw, and the
report of the National Detective
Agency, Messrs. McDevitt and
Finder, two of the best known
detectives In the country, who took
some time, by careful lnvestiga
ton. to find out the true inwardness
of this charge. They inform us in
their report that there was not the
least ground for suspicion nor was
there any truth in the charges what
soeyer. 1t can be seen that their
report is substantiated by the let
ter of Mr.. Outlaw who said that he
got the information from Mrs.
Strange. Mrs. Strange said that
she first got it from Mr.. Outlaw,
but, her statement was subsequent
ly contradicted to Messrs. Nc
Dewitt and Flinders by her, which
will be seen in their report. Ii
there was any animus on the
part OF either party, or if it was
said in fun as she said it was, in
either case, it is cowardly aud ma
licious. If, what Mr.. Outlaw said

AN OPEN LETTER TO COM
MISSIONER WEBB,

Washington, D. c., Aug 13, 'S7.
HON. w. B. WEBB,
Commissioner of the District /:
SIR was not my intention to
have written to you again before
the reorganization of the school
board, but, the ecstacy which fills
tie hearts Of the people is so great
that 1 am compelled to inform you.
There Is one obstacle to the pro-
gress of the colored schools and he
is in the 7th school division. The
transfer of DR.. J. r. Francis to that
division, and the appointment of
Prof. w. B. johnson in the county
will cause harmony in the colored
schools. If it is your intention to
appoint man from South Wash
ington, no better man is more
suited than j. f. n. Wilkinson or
DR.. Sumby. If you 60 East, Mr..
Lewis Cornish will be acceptable.
1t matters not Mr.. Webb, whether
you appoint men from the East,
West, North or South, DR.. Frau
els, Profs. Gregory and w. Bishop
johnson, are the proper men to
represent the colored schools. 1t
is not my desire to dictate to you
Mr.. Webb, as you know my appre-
citation for your administration and
its government are far above all
earthly dignities. l don't want you
to make any mistake in the ap-
pointment Of men, and you know
the BEE never presents a man who
can't stand the calcium light. We
present you gentlemen, and not
llbertines; we present you schOl-
ars, not ignorance, and men of
high social and moral character.
Can we have the pleasure of con-
graduating you in our next issue
on the appointment of these wOr-
thy gentlemen
Yours for the Peoples
The EDITOR.
The Washington bee., 1887-08-13

There need be no surprise felt if
within few days an order is is
sued by the commissioners looking
to the reorganization of the board
of school trustees. Last July the
terms of several of the members of
the board expired, aud as yet
they have not been reappointed.
The delay in making the reappoint-
ment has caused some attention
to be drawn TO the matter. After
patient inquiry it was learned with
some posltiveneSs that Commits
sioner Webb had determined to
disband the present board and
make new one. He evidently be-
lieves that the interests of the
schools would be benefited by the
proposed new organization, al
though the present boaru has done
most excellent work, and MI.
Webb realizes this fact. The new
board will be largely made up of
members of the old board.
Mr.. Webb has been considering
the matter for long time, and has
expressed himself very freely to
friends about his proposition, and
they, in turn, after mature consid-
GRAFTON, have advised him to carry
out his plan. During the year
harmony prevailed among the
board, and the new members post
ed themselves thoroughly in school
matters. There were no discord-
ant elements prevailing, and the
schools profited thereby. Encour-
aged by this, he believes that the
board can be improved on, and
with the reasons he advances,
which are not the least discredita-
bic to the present board, he thinks
that his plan will be a satisfactory
one. There is no disputing the
fact that Mr.. Webb has given the
schools careful attention and has
informed himself thoroughly as to
their needs; he is keenly alive to
their actual wants, and his ambit-
ion is to give a perfect system OF
instructions to the youth of the
city.
The present board is comprised
of the following: j. j. Darlington,
president. John W. Ross, Apple
ton P. Clark, Roosevelt A. Fish,
w. w. Curtis, DR.. A. 81. Wilmer,
DR.. John r. Francis, Henry john.

OUR PUBLIC PRINTER.

On our front page will be found
a portrait anu biographical sketch
of Hon. Thomas T.. Benedict, Pub
lie Printer. 1t will be seen that
Mr.. Benedict has been and is now
popular democrat in the State of
New York. His ability as a prac-
ticle business man has been well
demonstrated in all the positions he
has ever held. AS Public Printer
he has certainly systematized and
put his office in practical Opera
tion. He believes that those work
ing under him and i'm the same
building that he is, are entitled to
the same pure air that he receives
and for that reason he has expend-
ed money to thoroughly ventilate
his office. A visit to the Govern
ment Printing office, will convince
you that the Public Printer is do
lng well and conducting the office
AS practically as any printing of
fee in the country. The picture of
Mr.. Benedict is an exact likeness
of him. He has a stern look and
he is Just as stern as he looks and
as affiable as stern. Although a
democrat we commend him to the
people Of this country as friend
TO the Negro.

HE Is PATRIOTIC:

Mr.. Douglass letter to the BEE
this week is rather patriotic in sell
timent. He admits that he bows
TO Trotter, but not as a serf. Sel fS
are slaves says Mr.. Douglass. To
give force TO his letter he saws, it
would be dangerous for the color
ed soldiers TO withdraw from the
National Guards, as the white men
would get all the credit. This is
Just what we complain of, the white
people are getting the credit for
everything anyway and the Negro
the rebuffs. We haye nothing to
take back we still assert that, if
General Ordway has Disseminated
against the Negro by ignoring
them, let them withdraw. The
cause is, no doubt, there is too
much disvision amoug our colored

OUR DISTRICT GOVERN
MENT.

We admit that the people have
a just ground of complaint against
our present system of govern
ment, and the manner by which
the citizens are taxed; but, there
is no just ground to charge Com
missioner Webb with having mis-
appropriated the funds OF the
people. If there ever was an hon
est man. Col. Webb is one. We
admit again that the tax On water
is excessive and unjust. The
present form Of our District gov
ernment is unconstitutio al and
no other class of people would toll
crate it but the people in this
city.
In aholishing the right of suf-
frage, the white people have suf-
tered as much as the Negroes on
whose account that suffrage was
taken away. The citizens appeals
to Congress have been disregarded,
hence, their only resort is to de.
mand the restoration of that
weapon of defence which
protects all citizens under a
pure government. Men are ap-
pointed to govern Us against our
knowledge or consent, and who
enact such laws that are tyrrani-
cal and unjust, If Col. Ludlow

three last named are colored. Of
the present membership it can be
positively asserted that Messrs.
Darlington, Ross, Gregory, and
Fish will be appointed on the new
board.
1t is probable that the commits
siOner's intentions will be made
known to the board shortly. In
fact, some Of them already expect
it aud are ready with their resig-
nations. This must occur shortly,
as but little time remains before il
will be necessary for the board to
meet for reorganization and cleo
tiOn OF Officers.-Sept. 8.
Commissioner Webb was asked
last night by a "Republican" re-
porter if he contemplated any ear
ly changes in the school board.
Said he:
81 don't know that there will be
any changes right off, but the
terms of some of the trustees ex.
pired on the 18th of July last, and
they are now holding over until
their successors are named.'
"Will you reappoinU any OF
those whose terms expired last
month ?'' asked the reporter.
"That is question l cannot an
swer. [ don't think, however, it
will be a great while before the
school board has a full quota" /"
was Mr.. Webb's answer, and it
carried with it the conviction, to
the reporters mind, that some OF
the old trustees were doomed 10 go.
